That's really interesting dathai - would love to know what happened to the bike while hating the thought of a "wicker" side car!

I suppose motorbikes moved at a more stately pace in those days!
And anything that might tangle with them too.

(I learned to drive a Morris Minor in the early 1960s . . one day in a rush of adrenaline, I got it up to 52 mph! Poor thing didn't know what had happened to it.)

By  Feb 1923 Francis Alexander Wallen had moved to 11 ,12 and 13 St Andrew's St where he filed a compensation claim due to damage caused to his premises by an explosion at
near neighbour's premises 2 doors away Captain Sean McGarry

In 1922 Sean McGarry's house at 37 Philipsburgh Ave was set on fire by irregular forces.
